Why I’ll NEVER Wear These Scrubs (Figs Exploitation)

Being a health professional can be really hard. Along with the endless hours of work and study that goes into learning medicine, many young and aspiring health pros are forced to live on shoestring budgets with mounting debt on their shoulders. I’ve been there, I get it. I don’t want any hardworking med students, residents, nurses, or anyone else to struggle with the decision of buying scrubs or paying rent, so I’m purchasing up to $20,000 of scrubs just for you, for free, with no hashtags or marketing gimmicks required. I’m tired of multi-million dollar corporations leveraging free scrubs (which cost them pennies to manufacture) to young healthcare workers in exchange for social media posts and faux-grassroots marketing campaigns. If you need scrubs, fill out this form and I’ll send you whatever scrubs you want, no strings attached.

I’m not in the medical profession, but it still warms my heart that mike is giving away $20, 000 worth of scrubs.

[zzbrorx]

Please only fill out the form if you need the scrubs. Don’t take this opportunity away from those who truly need scrubs! Thank you!!

Preach Dr Mike! DO or MD- they’re equal.

"alexa, play "no scrubs" by TLC"

Dr. Mike is literally so pissed right now. But the way he is giving $20, 000 to med students, nurses under training and resident docs is so thoughtful and beautiful...

“I learned from female physicians. I am who I am today because of female physicians”
I happy cried a little bit because I have never heard a grown man (especially one that I respect) say something like that about women. Thanks for being an amazing role model!!

[RockinTheBassGuitar]

There is nothing wrong with being angry at unethical things wherever they are found. Thank you for calling this out!

[anneboleyn]

as a swedish assistant nurse, having to buy your own scrubs is insane, that is not how we do things at all

[LivingAMEA]

As someone who comes from a family of women in the medical profession, seeing you so passionate about diversity and lifting people in the medical profession up enough to donate your own money and effort, using your platform in so many ways to help is a beautiful thing. Thank you Doctor Mike.

What you said about women in medicine made me cry. You are such an inspiration -- finally, after 5 years of undergrad and grad school, I'm applying to medical school and one day hope to make an impact on patients and future healthcare workers the way you have. Thank you Dr. Mike!!

Shoutout to Dr. Mike for not being a sellout AND putting his money where his mouth is. Can’t put a price on integrity. Much respect

Dr Mike,
I'm a surgical tech at a level 1 trauma center in Dallas. I've been scrubbing for ten years in two of the biggest teaching facilities in my state. When I see this, it disgusts me to my core. I know that young med students and residents are broke, I see it everyday. My weekend team puts on a family dinner once a month for us, and our docs. We make sure to bring plenty, because half of them either forget to eat a real meal or can't afford anything more than a simple snack.

Thank you for standing up,
Candice

You’re passionate about this issue, not angry. There is a big difference. Passionate and talking about making positive change is good. Angry doesn’t always get people on board with you...

[IvoryValentine]

Dr Mike drinks about a liter of respecting women juice a day and I love him for it

[kyerawatkins]

Dr. Mike should start his own scrub line!!! I would definitely support.

[zensmith]

The passion behind his voice. His passion for fairness. His passion for seeing things done right. His respect for women... He is a true role model.

[bilawalm]

Yo random people. Don't fill the form if are not in medical field. Let those who need have it.

[rebeccawiens]

One thing I like is that he's an advocate, but he also puts his money where his mouth is.

[chunkuswumpus]

And this is why I love doctor Mike. He is willing to sacrifice his own time and money to help other people in and out side his work place. He is honestly an amazing guy and we should all support him

“Value yourself, value your time value your reach and value your medical education”
great words, preach Dr. mike!
